Abstract
An anti-clog device for a terminal orifice of a dispenser is disclosed for dispensing a particulate material from the terminal orifice. The particulate material clusters into aggregates larger than the terminal orifice and are prevented from being dispensed through the terminal orifice. The anti-clog device comprises an array of projections disposed about the terminal orifice for dividing the large aggregates of particulate material into smaller aggregates of particulate material for dispensing through the terminal orifice.
